The Best of the Best Around the Net

The Best of the Best Around the Net

One of my passions is bridge-building, connecting, and highlighting other ministries and ministry resources—so that the Body of Christ is built up and Christ is magnified (Ephesians 4:15-16). My weekly post, The Best of the Best Around the Net, links you to blog posts that provide robust, rich, and relevant insights for living. Check out the following links you can trust.

Top 100 Christian Websites

Kent Shaffer at Church Relevance has posted his Spring 2010 Top 100 most influential Christian websites/blogs. He uses a series of metrics to assess which Christian blogs are the most read. Fascinating. And with links to every blog.

Beyond TULIP

TULIP is the common acronym for the “five points of Calvinism.” John Piper at Desiring God (the # 1 most influential Christian blog in the world—see above) explains that there is so much more to a Reformed/Calvinistic way of thinking about life. Read about a God-saturated, Christ-centered, and Bible-based worldview at Beyond Five Points.

How to Review a Book

As someone who has reviewed over 500 books, I’m always open to learning how to write a better review. Tim Challies is the preeminent Evangelical book reviewer. And he’s listed by Shaffer (see above) as the second most influential Christian blogger in the world. Tim posts some very helpful pointers about How to Review a Book.

Preachers Who Are Not Believers

Albert Mohler posts about a new survey on Clergy Who Do Not Believe. It’s a sad and alarming topic, but one that every Christian needs to read.

Jonathan Edwards Fans

Trinity Evangelical Divinity School has started a new project studying Puritan American Pastor Jonathan Edwards. Read about him and their work at their Jonathan Edwards Blog.

The Best of the Best Around the Net

One of my passions is bridge-building, connecting, and highlighting other ministries and ministry resources—so that the Body of Christ is built up and Christ is magnified (Ephesians 4:15-16). My weekly post, The Best of the Best Around the Net, links you to blog posts that provide robust, rich, and relevant insights for living. Check out the following links you can trust.

Strategic Discipleship

Over at Church Matters, the blog site for 9Marks Ministry, Pastor Deepak Reju has posted a very helpful blog on Picking Fruit Off of a Tree.” He explores practical principles for discipling leaders.

Scandalous

John Bird over at Discerning Reader reviews D. A. Carson’s Scandalous: The Cross and Resurrection of Jesus. “In his inimitable style, Carson returns us to where we must forever dwell theologically: Christ’s cross and resurrection.” Read the rest of John’s review here.

6 Views on Brian McLaren’s A New Kind of Christianity

I normally don’t post about my own post, however, this really isn’t “my” post. I’ve updated a post where I link you to six different views on McLaren’s A New Kind of Christianity. If you’re interested in what to make of this book, visit here.

What Is the Character of God and Why Does It Matter to Me?

Ed Welch of the CCEF has a very practical blog where he asks, “Is God Picky?”. How we see God is the most important thing about us.

Ingredients of Successful Blogs

Michael Hyatt is the leading Christian thinker about Web 2.0, social networking, blogging, ministry-based-marketing, etc. In this post, he invites a guest blogger to discuss “The Third Ingredient of a Successful Blog”. Also find the links to the first two posts in the series. What good does it do if you write a great blog, but nobody reads it? Or, put another way, “If a blog is written in the woods, does anyone see it?”
